Now I am working on a research project looking into the parallels between bodily and earthly extraction in the practice of egg-freezing. The work examines contemporary (in)fertility through the lens of financialised climate risk, exploring bodily boundaries, intimacy, kinship, and doubt.
With Eline Benjaminsen I am working on the book Collapsed Mythologies: A Geofinancial Atlas. We are unravelling financial slang and its etymological histories, revealing the absurd (super)natural ‘fictions’ that shape our worldly ecology. This project is expanding Sami Hammana’s initial Geofinancial Lexicon.
Recently, I have just finished a series of three zines for the KABK Studium Generale series: An exploration of wxtch craft as a queer feminist liberatory practice, as editor, program touchstone and designer. Together with Erika Sprey and many others. I now guide the editorial and visual process for Earth Craft.
At the Critical Inquiry Lab I am teaching artistic research to master students.
I spent two years at the Dutch Art Institute roaming through Europe, an academy where theory and praxis meets in a communal, collaborative manner. Research there revolved around anxieties of ‘making sense,’ and the infrastructures and languages that produce doubt, setting out the stakes of forms of magical thinking and how pluralism or scepticism can be exploited by the right.
Here is a small grasp of recent projects, writings, and design work. There are small descriptions if you hover and more imagery if you click.
I work on commissions in graphic, editorial and publication design, for which you can hire me :-)
Here you can see a selection of commissioned publications I designed from 2013 until now.
